XBRL filings - analysis and review

The XBRL and iXBRL data collected by regulators gives access to a wealth of information, from which can be revealed the trends, correlations, clusters and other insights needed to monitor individual reporting entities and to verify the overall health of markets.

CoreFiling support the two main approaches to the in-depth review of the data contained in XBRL filings:

Transformation and storage of data in databases for access by third party Business Intelligence systems. This finely grained analysis of up to date financial and statistical data offers regulators a deeper understanding of the forces at work in the market, allowing a faster response to adverse changes.

Sophisticated, rules-assisted manual review of key documents. This can be used to scrutinise closely the individual filings and highlight any anomalies that may call for further investigation.
